Ok....I'll give it a shot.......put cuttings in the cloner today.........should show roots on 1/1...veg 4 weeks(I'll go along with 5 from sprouted seed, 4 from rooted clone as fair....considering hybrid vigor from seed)
Here's my entry....hope I remembered all the parameters.....short term memory issues...lol
Entries: well, I guess I'll do three all same strain, but variations listed below.....
From: Clone
Strain: BB/AK-47 cross ? best guess there...had it a while
Clone: aerocloner or 1"RW in standard nursery tray w/humidity dome....I use both.....under 18-24" flouros
Veg: Ebb n Flow.......4" RW cube modified for the party cup.....not sure yet if I'll shave it, break it up or what...but I'll figure it out soon...1-2 weeks under 250 W MH, rest of veg time under 400 W MH.......likely eye blue bulbs
Bloom: E&F in party cup placed inside 6" pot for stability..No medium added, but I might use something to hold the cup better.....say styro......I'll try to take a pic so we know I'm in the rules.........430 watt HPS w/red sodium bulb and/or 1000 watt MH w/940 hps conversion bulb...... I can harvest @ 6 or 8 weeks depending on if I want head high or body high.....
Modifications: holes and/or slits for drainage.....and whatever it takes to keep them upright
Method: It'll be in with a SOG...I can't really modify it to a bush....but maybe I can do the 4 top method........guess we'll see in the end.......maybe I'll try for 1, 2 and 4 tops.........for comparision purposes......although I already pack 'em in tight.....
Nutes: This run is Ionic Grow, Bloom and Boost........clone-tap water, first rooted veg 1 cup/30 gal, rooted veg 1 1/2 cup/30 gal, bloom 1 1/2 cups/30 gal w/ 1/2 cup boost...........change every 2 weeks.......
Seems like I missed something, but that covers what I can think of. I'm sure I won't win this little contest, but I'll give it an honest try. Obviously Sicc has the advantage of having already done it and we all know there are those that are going to cheat...whether a little or a lot. So what? I'm going to take this as the chance to show that great things can come from small containers......I hope the soil grows go great...just for what it means to newbs and those without money to invest in hydro right away......
I think the final picture should be the plant in it's cup just before chopping.......yields can be exaggerated...a pic is worth 1000 words.........
